I am a mother of an eight year old daughter. When she was 4 years old she became very belligerent, crying fits, uncontrollable, completely out of control. The behavior was completely the opposite of the sweet little girl she usually was. At the time she had an ear infection and was on a liquid antibiotic. I called her doctor, thinking it was a reaction to the antibiotic. Her antibiotic was changed and she was fine again. Three months later at a family picnic she was given a piece of sugar free gum and we had to leave the picnic as her behavior was almost instantly changed to bad, just like Jekyll and Hyde! I called the doctor the next morning and found out the 1st ingredient in the antibiotic 3 months before was Aspartame. Cali now describes the feelings as though she can’t control herself that she can’t think straight.
How many children in this country take children’s chewable vitamins from a discount store loaded with Aspartame every day? It is also in chewable Tylenol, most liquid antibiotics, chewable Motrin, chewable Benadryl, chewable Advil and even Pedilyte. My daughter is a label reader now.
I own a health food store and help hundreds of people every year in our community of 100,000 that are sick and find out it is from Aspartame.
I recently helped a woman who was on so many drugs for depression and anxiety that she couldn’t work and was disabled. After one week. ONE WEEK off of NutraSweet she was able to go back to work.
I also worked with a woman who was crippled by migraines. Spent thousands and thousands of dollars on MRI’s, tests, drugs to no avail. She went off of diet cola and her migraines were gone. She was furious that not one doctor she went to ever asked her if she drank any diet sodas or used artificial sweetener packets.
Another man thought he was developing Alzheimer’s at age 34. His doctor fortunately asked him if he did drink diet soda. Yes he did. 5-6 cans a day. Two weeks off of Aspartame completely his memory came back 100%
Why is it still being sold when it is so dangerous!? People need to know. They have a right to know the truth! I believe what it is doing to our children is a crime. Some MD’s still are not warning pregnant mothers not to consume it. How frightening is that?
